Danny takes center stage in March, with two portrait pictures combined into one to match the landscape format of the calendar. The photo on the left shows Danny with the Michael Jordan statue outside of the United Center before Purdue’s unfortunate ouster in round two of the NCAA tournament last March. In photo on the right, Danny poses with Neil Armstrong on the Purdue campus before the homecoming victory over the Fighting Illini last October.
Why has it been nearly three months between days 9 and 10 of this challenge? Because I’ve been trying to think of an answer. Music doesn’t make me fall asleep. Just the opposite, in fact. So, in honor of yesterday’s homecoming victory over the Fighting Illini, I present Hail Purdue, as performed by the All-American Marching Band. A song which most definately does not put me to sleep.
It was a beautiful day in West Lafayette as Purdue held on and pulled off the upset against the Fighting Illini for Homecoming 2011.
